Chapter 1340 Capture
“One thousand meters away!”
The first mate’s hoarse voice sounded again. At this moment, blood was already seeping from his right arm.
This was caused by a shrapnel just now.
But at such a high level of concentration, this pain is like a shield and does not affect the movements at all.
"Captain, why don't you do it?"
The weapons officer's voice came from outside, and he was already within the range of the torpedo.
Our side is suffering more and more casualties. The thick bullets of the 40mm cannon are just small shells. If they hit a person, they will be broken into pieces.
"Shut up and wait for me."
"Whoever dares to open fire without my order will be dealt with by military law."
Zhang Kangzhan's voice was full of coldness.
Looking at the submarine hunter ahead.
The weapons officer lowered his head after hearing this, and the entire team lay on the torpedo launcher, forming a shield with their flesh and blood.
This is their only 'magic weapon' to win, so there can be no problem.
Zhang Kangzhan’s eyes suddenly became calm.
The other party is a veteran, and it often appears in confrontations in this sea area.
Familiar.
It’s for both sides.
Just like he understands the Osprey, the opponent also understands their fighting style.
This kind of understanding can not only kill the other person.
Sometimes, you will also ruin yourself.
So, he is gambling.
"Old Zhang!"
"Eight hundred meters away."
Boom.
As soon as he finished speaking, a 40mm shell exploded on the port side. The gunboat shook, and several crew members near the explosion fell down. Someone was faintly thrown out and fell into the sea, and there were still things in the air.
“I know, I know.”
“The other side is waiting for us to slow down and wait for our chance to launch torpedoes.”
“Then use the most ferocious firepower. Cover and kill us in one fell swoop.”
“But this is also our chance.”
"This is our only chance."
Zhang Kangzhan seemed to be talking to the other party, but also seemed to be talking to himself, constantly convincing himself.
Next second.
The veins popped out and he roared.
“Left full rudder.”
Crash
The first mate used all his strength to control the steering wheel.
The blood on his right arm floated into the air.
The next second, the gunboat The Hague made a sharp ninety-degree turn on the sea, and the ship faced the Osprey horizontally.
Almost parallel.
"Accelerate."
There was another roar, and the first mate pressed the gear completely to the bottom without thinking too much.
The chief engineer responsible for taking care of the engines was thrown to the ground. His forehead was bright red, but his eyes were fixed on the four shaking engines.
Dong dong dong
The sound of the engine was like a drum, making his heart lift to his throat.
"Escape!"
The next second, the captain's voice was heard.
In Zhang Kangzhan’s telescopic view, a burst of smoke suddenly appeared from the front, middle and rear of the Osprey on the opposite side.
For a moment, he saw the Osprey stop speed and the entire hull move backwards for a distance.
And as the smoke rose, he also knew that the most dangerous time was coming.
"Speed up, speed up."
The first mate pressed the control stick tightly and shouted loudly.
The sailors on the ship grabbed everything they could, looking at the rising smoke with grim expressions.
The chief engineer covered his chest and knelt in front of the engine, "Kids, hold on, kids."
"As long as you resist this time, I will treat you as my own sons from now on. , give the best diesel, give the best maintenance, give”
Boom boom boom
The explosions continued to sound, and the chief engineer felt that the entire hull was shaking, but his 'sons' still insisted on their posts.
"Here, come, help."
While the chief engineer was praying, a shout came from above, and there were constant explosions.
“Hold on, kids.”
The chief engineer shouted, looked at the engine that was still shaking at the end, ran out of the engine room and came to the deck.
At this moment, blood was scattered everywhere on the deck, and a big hole appeared on the right side of the gunboat, and the surrounding steel was burned black.
Fortunately, the hole was located above the waterline and did not affect the speed of the gunboat.
"What are you doing standing still? Help."
The weapons officer called out the evidence, and the chief engineer immediately stepped forward to help treat the wounded.
"Be careful, catch it."
The weapons officer felt the direction of the gunboat and shouted, and everyone quickly grabbed nearby fixed objects.
The chief engineer even threw himself on the wounded, protecting him with all his strength.
In the captain's cabin, Zhang Kangzhan was holding the rudder. Beside him, the first mate was covering his abdomen, and blood was flowing out.
“Lao Zhang, give it to me and kill them.”
Zhang Kangzhan had tears in his eyes and moved the rudder hard.
With a full right rudder, the gunboat was like a turning truck. The huge inertia caused the entire gunboat to tilt, and even shoveled a large wave of water on the sea. After it stabilized, it rushed forward without losing speed. Osprey pointing forward.
At this moment, Zhang Kangzhan could see the busy people on the opponent's deck, who were busy loading cannonballs.
They were shouting loudly and doing everything they could to stop The Hague from approaching.
They, feel scared.
The captain of the Osprey opened his mouth.
He anticipated everything about the other party.
Including that the opponent will hit the ship horizontally at about 800 meters, then throw it out of angle, slow down and launch torpedoes.
This is the opportunity he wants to seize.
As long as there is a concentrated fire, this small gunboat of 100 tons can be destroyed even with 40mm guns, not to mention they also have 76mm guns and rockets.
But when he saw that the opponent was fighting horizontally, he did not slow down and launch torpedoes, which was unexpected.
After the other party withstood this round of concentrated fire, they changed their direction and rushed towards themselves, and things became even more serious.
“Speed up, speed up.”
“Fire, kill them for me.”
“Don’t let them get close.”
There was a loud noise on the Osprey. After the launch just now, the speed of the Osprey was weakened and it was now accelerating.
But at this time, The Hague was gradually approaching despite the artillery fire from all around.
“It’s five hundred meters away.”
The first mate suddenly grinned, and Zhang Kangzhan lowered his head with a look of hatred.
"Old monster, kill him for me."
The weapons officer suddenly raised his hand, and the remaining sailors behind him immediately aimed at the osprey that began to accelerate in front.
"Kill it for me."
Tongtong.
The two torpedoes left the launcher and plunged into the continuously exploding sea water with the help of the speed of the gunboat.
“Run it for me.”
The weapons officer lay on the guardrail and looked at the torpedo submerged in the sea. Turning a blind eye to the splash of water exploding around him.
He knew that during such rapid travel, even the slightest impact would have different effects on the torpedoes.
Cluster.
Whoosh.
The next second, not far away, two white waves suddenly appeared, and then rushed towards the osprey ahead.
The next second, he felt the shells around him pause for a moment, and then he saw chaos on the Osprey submarine hunter a few hundred meters away.
Some people were running, and some people began to turn their guns and try to shoot torpedoes.
"What a fool, haha."
The weapons officer felt his body being thrown aside again, and at this time the gunboat changed its direction again.
"You bastard, Old Liu, can't be more stable."
The weapons officer cursed, and the surrounding sailors were indeed staring at the submarine hunting ship in the distance.
Zhang Kangzhan wiped away the blood on his forehead and shouted loudly without looking at the specific results.
"Don't be so stupid, reload me and continue attacking."
The weapons officer reacted and was about to let people continue to reload.
Boom~~~
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came, and the entire gunboat was stunned for a moment, followed by a burst of shouts.
“Hit.”
“Hit!”
The weapons officer quickly turned around and saw a large hole opened by a torpedo in the rear of the submarine hunter. As he poured it into it, his speed dropped even further, moving slowly on the sea.
"Good job."
The weapons officer shouted, and the chief engineer not far away immediately shouted, "What a bastard, hurry up and help save people."
Everyone ran over immediately While rescuing people, the weapons officer also led people to continue loading torpedoes.
The personnel in charge of the battle controlled the twin cannons and continued to tilt the firepower.
Zhang Kangzhan was controlling the gunboat, while the medical soldiers on the side were treating the first mate's wounds.
The bleeding has stopped, but his face is pale.
"Old Zhang, was it hit?"
"It was hit in the rear. It seems that the transmission machine is broken. I guess I can't run."
Zhang Kangzhan He said excitedly, then slowed down, distanced himself, and ran past the Osprey.
By the time the ship passed by one side, the entire Osprey had tilted more than 20 degrees. The right side was like water and the left side was tilted high.
"Let's go to the other side."
A flash of light flashed in Zhang Kangzhan's eyes, and he immediately drove the boat to the cocked part on the left side of the Osprey.
“Stop shooting.”
“Passengers.”
“Send them a signal and surrender within three minutes, otherwise they will be sunk.”
< br>
Zhang Kangzhan controlled his speed and approached slowly.
At this time, the opponent's Class A was cocked and the artillery had lost its range of fire.
The life and death of the other party is in their control.
The messenger immediately ran to the front of the gunboat, waving flags with pride.
Once, twice, three times.
After three times, Zhang Kangzhan began to pinch his watch.
The weapons officer has the torpedoes ready.
Today, if this hunting submarine is sent to the bottom of the sea, they will receive supreme honor.
His life is worth it.
“Damn, this boat is so nice.”
Patting the guardrail, the weapons officer kept sighing, "The speed I entered the water just now must have been more than 40 knots."
"This way, I can launch a torpedo and still hit it."
"Old Fu. , your power is guaranteed, I’ll take credit for you.”
The chief engineer next to me heard this and immediately ran to the engine room.
“Get out of here, I can use you as an old monster to record my merits.”
Only then did he remember that he still had four 'sons' to serve.
“This old man.”
The weapons officer looked at the already tilted hunting submarine in the distance, his eyes scanning where to add another round to make this big ship his military exploits.
But just as he was thinking about it, the battle flag on the opponent's ship was slowly lowered, and it was replaced by a white flag.
“What’s going on?”
The surrounding sailors were also confused.
"This, is this surrender?"
One person suddenly said, and then.
"Surrender, surrender, hahaha."
"A bunch of cowards, the sea is not yours, go home quickly."
Command room
"Old Liu, look, hahaha"
There were tears in Zhang Kangzhan's eyes, and they were tears of excitement.
The first mate was covering his wound, his face was pale, and he was indeed laughing non-stop.
“We have made a great contribution, we have made a great contribution”
Twenty minutes later.
The Hague gunboat dragged its prize in front, and the tilted Osprey advanced slowly.
The chief engineer looked at the four engines that had returned to normal output, and could not hear what the engineers around him said.
From the beginning, these engines are his sons.
Be sure to take good care of it.
Behind the Osprey, more than a dozen lifeboats were connected by ropes, carrying people who fell from the Osprey.
The sailor in charge was full of pride and his eyes were not looking at the big ship in front.
Besides this long string, a fishing boat followed closely, and the fishermen on it also held weapons and were responsible for guarding these prisoners.
This time, not only did they defeat the opponent, but they also captured a large ship. This was definitely the first time since the establishment of their fleet.
Great work.
What a great achievement.
In the command room.
Zhang Kangzhan was drinking water from a kettle with a smile on his face. Opposite him was the captain of the Osprey.
A middle-aged man in his forties, with a depressed face.
“I didn’t expect that your ship would be different.”
"It was a miscalculation."
"Otherwise, our position would not be like this today."
Zhang Kangzhan put down the kettle and sneered, "Humph. Mr. Major, since you stepped into this piece After entering the sea area, the outcome is already certain. "
"Being an enemy of the people will not end well."
"However, if you don't fight to the end, you can still be saved."< br>
After saying that, he was escorted away.
Before the major left, he was still aggrieved and full of unwillingness.
No matter how unwilling you are, it can't change the fact that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
After waiting for the people to leave, Zhang Kangzhan walked to the first mate and sat down.
"Old Liu, you have to hold on, I'm still waiting to receive the medal together."
The first mate grinned, "Don't worry, I am very happy."
"From now on, this ship will definitely be ours."
As he said this, he looked at the Osprey behind him. This ship is so big.
